Ilaria,

I meant to comment on these earlier, but got caught up in other things. The treatment of their faces really caught my eye. I love how the faces and hands are really the center of attention. The rest of the canvas is soft , monochromatic, and painterly, but the faces are just full of life and color.

Since you have put these up for critique, I will mention one small nitpick. Check the perspective on the furniture, the first table in particular. The table looks as if it is distorted and crooked. Even if done in a painterly style it needs to read as a rock solid piece of furniture. I can see that there is some glare on the photo which may account what I am seeing. If so, please disregard my comment, (I always have problems with glare)! There is an awful lot to like about these three paintings.

Jean
